How do I release the
liability of my donated vehicle in Maryland?
In Maryland you are required to
remove your license plates and turn them in at your local MVA in
order to cancel the registration. This is required before you
can cancel your insurance. Failure to do so can result in
continued billing by your insurance company until you do turn
them in.
You can contact the Maryland
Motor Vehicle Administration with any questions you have about
how to release the liability of your donated vehicle. For
additional information, please refer to the Maryland MVA web
site:
Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
What types of vehicles
do not require a title in Maryland?
Mopeds and snowmobiles do NOT
require a title in Maryland.
What do I do with my
title when donating my vehicle in Maryland?
The title of the vehicle must be
properly assigned to the charity. This is handled in the same
manner as if you were actually selling the vehicle. Be sure to
fill in the name and the address of the charity under the
“Assignment of Ownership” section to properly complete
transfer of ownership of the vehicle to the charity. Some
charities may request that you leave the new owner information
blank, but this leaves you at risk for future problems since
the title would then be considered “open” by the MVA and
unassigned. It may also affect your tax deduction for the
donation.
The odometer mileage must be filled in on the “Maryland
Certificate of Title."
If the giver has financed the vehicle, the charity will need
the vehicle’s “Maryland Notice of Security Interest Filing”
showing the vehicle has been paid off. If that document is not
available, please request a letter on the financial
institution’s letterhead stating that they hold no security
interest and have it signed by the financial institution’s
authorized agent. The letter should also include the date of
the loan’s creation, the amount, the date of its release, the
name and address of the debtor, and a full vehicle description
(year, make, and vehicle identification number).
Do not leave the license plates on the vehicle. After the
title is transferred, remove the license plates from the
vehicle and return the plates to the MVA unless you are
transferring the plates to another vehicle. You may only
transfer the plates if the new vehicle is titled in the same
name and the new vehicle classification is the same as the old
vehicle. Keep your receipt from the MVA when you return your
plates. Keep insurance coverage on the vehicle until the date
the plates are returned to the MVA or transferred to the new
vehicle.
Cancel the vehicle insurance for the donated vehicle. To avoid
penalty fees, cancel the vehicle insurance only after the
plates have been returned to the MVA or transferred to another
vehicle.
